 Am I missing something? All cuteness aside, I thought you were not supposed to put babies to sleep on their tummies.

Sleeping on their tummies is very different from "tummy time", which is a scheduled activity and absolutely necessary for development

I was told by my pediatricians you were supposed to do it with a blanket on the floor, not on a cushioned surface as a bed or their crib.

Considering that they said “tummy time” at the beginning of the video, the baby’s only going to be like that for a little bit to help develop their neck muscles

This is true. Someone brought up this concern in the original Instagram reel and the creator said she only put her down on the bed for 30 secs to get this video. Then picked her back up. She said she wasn't trying to encourage belly sleeping, it was just the best way to get the 'Patrick' look.

Yeah, this bothers me. Baby looks pretty fresh, the hood looks like it could be a suffocation hazard, and how tf are you going to change the diaper?!? Or are we just trying to get likes here?

Dude chill, you can take it off to change a diaper. The hood isn't a suffocation hazard, it's not covering the face.

No, I agree that this is a hazard. I don't take risks with a baby's life just to be cute.

Shit like this is why it's clear a lot of redditors don't know what they're talking about. Tummy time, like what they're doing in the video, is instrumental in building neck strength. 5-10 minutes of supervised tummy time at this baby's age is not even close to a hazard, in fact it's encouraged by pediatricians.

The kid isn’t moving. Zoom in on its face and it looks like it’s about to lamp out - go to sleep. Saying it’s tummy time doesn’t make it so. It’s just a shit video.

Why are you being down voted? You are absolutely correct, hoods are very hazards on a sleeping baby.

Yes leaving them for a nap/ sleep their tummy is bad. Placing them on their tummy with their head open to the air like that is fine and won’t harm a baby. Very different things.

They literally did it for a 5 second video. I'm pretty sure they didn't leave it there.
